Entrusting tasks to his child from an early age would be very beneficial for him. Here are those that should be favored according to his age.
Even if they are young, children can gradually accomplish small daily tasks allowing them to become independent and resourceful. According to a study published in the Journal of Developmental & Behavioral Pediatricswhich has been concentrated on 10,000 children over four years, those who participate in tasks from an early age, especially from the entry into kindergarten, would develop better abilities in school as well as more positive relationships with other children than those who do not. Giving them responsibilities also allows them to gain self -confidence and feel important.
“Give more tasks to our children not only helps them to become responsible, but that teaches them useful skills when they are alone,” assured to CNBC Margaret Machol Biscinow, author of Erect an entrepreneur : how to help your children realize their dreams, published at Bookbaby.
These tasks must be presented as an allocation, aid and not a punishment. Establish a regular routine with clear instructions can work very well to motivate the child, just as congratulating it when it succeeds. If the little one has trouble accepting to participate, it is possible to try to present these chores in a more fun way.

Three tasks particularly make children, as soon as they are four to five years old. They are indeed capable of making their bed as best as possible and helping to rid the table. For families who have pets, asking children to feed them is also a good idea that is in their strings. These three activities make them particularly independent, according to experts.
From 6 years old, a higher step is taken with chores linked to cleanliness like wiping the table or storing its clean clothes. After 8 years, the tasks can turn to the kitchen, especially with the initiation to the preparation of cakes or breakfast or by making up their snack for the school.
After 12 years, children reach the threshold of greater autonomy and enter adolescence: they can thus take care of their little brothers and sisters or even help their parents for greater obligations as for the races, by example.
